The Jame' Asr is the largest Mosque in Brunei. It is beautiful but can not be compare in terms of originality to the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque. The Jame' Asr is reminiscent of all the big mosques design in the region, from Malaysia to Pakistan, where its centre is a dome surrounded by 4 minarets.Again like all recent national mosques built in the region, this one is built away from the main populated area. Hence it is quite empty except for the friday prayer. The nearby Kuilap shopping area is a bit far to walk from. This shopping area however is desperate for its own surau.
